The only commercials I saw for Cocoa Puffs when I had cable in my first bedroom(age 4 to 6) had Sonny hanging out with kids and saying that if you ate Cocoa Puffs you can be coocoo too! I took this to mean that if you ate it you would go crazy. So I was terrified when my dad brought a box of the name brand home thinking I would like them. Even though I did have store brand before then, but thought these were completely different.
